St. Teresa Tigers Vs. St. James Trojans

Saturday, September 6, 2014

7:00 pm

GCS Ballpark

Come out and cheer on our St. Teresa Tigers as we take on the St. James Trojans in a baseball showdown!  A great family night at the ballpark!!

Does your child love music and want to learn how to play piano?  Studies show that playing a musical instrument can enhance performance in other school subjects such as Mathematics and English.  Learning to play the piano is a gift which lasts a lifetime.

A limited number of lesson slots are available starting in the Fall at St. Teresa School during the K-2nd Grade lunch recess. A couple of openings are also available at my home studio after school.
